“Doesn’t he look dangerous? This is the type of age where key forwards start coming of age. It’s really important when you play against Tom Barrass and McGovern to use those hit-up players because then you get guys out the back,” Schofield said. “He played deep but then went high on Jeremy McGovern and was looking to get hit up and used up the field. “He’s a young player that’s really built his way into his career and he’s having a standout match today, which bodes well for his and the Crows’ season.”Īs ominous as Fogarty was close to goal, his ability to roam and present on the wings and flanks often gave the Crows a bailout option. “We’ve spoken a lot about West Coast not being able to execute, but that’s because Adelaide have brought great defensive pressure.” “If you’re trying new things, especially with your ball movement, you need to keep going for it, because there’s no point putting the cue in the rack now trying to minimise the score of the game when this (practice match weekend) is what it’s for, to practice what you’ve done against a team that’s bringing great pressure. “West Coast keep turning the footy over and Adelaide are feasting on what’s going on,” Schofield told Fox Footy. Premiership Eagle Will Schofield, who primarily played under Simpson during an era where West Coast were happy to kick-mark and retain possession, said the Eagles must persist considering how transition-heavy the modern-day game is. “It’s been such a mandate they’ve played for a long time – the slower, precise kicking and slow ball movement out of the back-half – so to change that is significant.”Īsked if it was a case of West Coast trying to force quick transition too much or more Adelaide’s relentless defensive pressure, Pavlich said: “A bit of both.” “The Eagles just look a little confused with their ball movement now,” Fremantle legend Matthew Pavlich told Fox Footy.
